  • An authentic, thought provoking podcast

    One of the first podcast I ever listened to and then continued to listen to every episode. SBK has presented an honest version of himself with his life story which made me want to keep listening to every episode. He introduced so may new concepts, researchers and authors which not only kept me entertained but gave me encouragement to grow in so many wonderful new ways. Introspection has become a way of life promoting a true revolution through the years. Thank you.

Conflating tasks with time is also a false dichotomy. Feeling overwhelmed about making a choice with time IS an insecure/anxiety/ADHD dimension of thought. No one really ca... more
